cornbread

Is there anything worse than dry cornbread? Seriously, I have tried who-knows-how-many recipes for cornbread and each and every one of them turned out dry and bland. That is, until I made this recipe from Marc’s mom. This isn’t just plate-filling cornbread that is used to sop up leftover baked beans or chili and is a mere afterthought of the meal. Oh no. This is show-stopping cornbread. It’s moist, flavorful, and even when eaten with a meal of finger-lickin’ ribs and sweet baked beans it was still a stand out side dish.

Of course I had to make one minor adjustment to the recipe. When Marc’s sister looked at the calorie count of the printed out recipe and announced that it was loaded with calories, I decided to decrease the amount of butter. It gets a lot of its moistness from the creamed corn and eggs and I just didn’t think that it needed a whole stick of butter in it too. It wasn’t missed at all and still turned out delicious. This is also an easy recipe to double, which is great when cooking for a crowd.

Redstone Restaurant Famous Cornbread

serves 8

3/4 cup cornmeal

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

4 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

7 oz creamed corn (1/2 can)

4 tbsp butter, melted

1/2 cup shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix together cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking powder in large bowl. Set aside

In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, corn, and butter. Add to dry ingredients and mix with wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Lastly, add cheese and mix to combine.

Pour into a greased 8 or 9″ iron skillet, or I used mini loaf pans such as these. Bake 35 minutes if using iron skillet, or 15-20 minutes if using a mini loaf pan. The cornbread will be done when a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.

This sounds so yummy. I am from Texas and grew up on cornbread. The cheese and corn sound like a nice twist - can't wait to try!
